Thereâs seething anger against the media at Jorpatki village in Bengalâs Sitalkuchi assembly constituency in Cooch Behar. Here, four men were killed in
firing by the Central Industrial Security Force on April 10 and their families have an alarming allegation to make: that the
Kendra Vahini, meaning central forces, shot at villagers lined up to vote at Booth 126, without reason. There was no mob that attacked the CISF as media reports have claimed, they say. And their allegations have gone mostly unreported so far.
